    Don, welcome to the forum. I am "kfander" on the Backwoods Home forum, although I haven't been as active there as I used to be. Thanks for giving us a try, and I hope you'll stick around a while. I think we have a nice mix of people here, and you will contribute much to the community here.

    Welcome to the forum! I'm actually a member of that forum but don't post. Joined it many many years ago when a group of us from another forum that closed went there.

    Just to continue the political arguments.:)

    This was proabbaly around 9-10 years ago...maybe more because Bush was the president at the time.:)

    Wow, time flies.

    How long were you a mod on there?

    My memory of the forum was all our arguments with one very liberal guy but can't remember his name.

    I was friends with Jean Souza and Johnny Pine, although he was on the other team,lol.

    My username May be Dandelion but I'm not sure. :)

    Welcome to the forum, @Don Abel , and it is good to have you here. I am a north Idaho transplant now living in Alabama, so I have lived in the country for a large part of my life, but only off-grid for a couple of years.
    Looking forward to some of your off-grid stories and wisdom.

    Thanks, Everyone!.. Yes, I'm in Ohio a little South of Canton..

    Chrissy.. Yeah, that was a bad period for Backwoods Home.. Silverado I believe is the person that you refer to..
    I became a mod after the reconstruction of the site was finished. Oliver was against the idea at first but soon realized that more eyes on deck was very helpful. I'm the die hard left. Everyone, including Oliver, is gone..

    Welcome, Don. Yes, the "Buckeye" state, right next to the "Hoosier" state where my grade school and high school years were spent.
